HOMAGE TO DE CHIRICO Signed Lithograph, Roman Monument, Arch, Sandwich, Surreal
Located in Union City, NJ
HOMAGE TO DE CHIRICO is an original, hand drawn, stone lithograph by the Italian artist Antonio Recalcati (1938-2022) printed in Paris France c. 1973 using hand lithography techniques on archival printmaking paper, 100% acid free. HOMAGE TO DE CHIRICO presents a surreal, landscape scene depicting an ancient Roman monument, empty town square with a lone shadowy figure visible in the upper window; a mysterious still life arrangement is set in the foreground with a ham? sandwich and drinking goblet positioned on the ground presenting a point of intrigue for the viewer. Print size - 20.25 x 28.75 in., unframed, very good condition, pencil signed by Antonio Recalcati, Printer's Proof dedicated "Pour Joseph"850 In 1973, Paris Recalcati painted a series of pictures titled “The Boheme de Chirico”. It is an unconventional and ironic reading of the great Giorgio de Chirico. The metaphysical monuments in the squares are transformed into physical objects such as a sandwich, macaroni dish, Parma ham, etc. The exhibition at the “Galérie Mathias Fels” in Paris received great success from the critics. The text in the exhibition catalogue is by Alain Jouffroy. President Georges Pompidou, had sent a jeep from Élysée Palace to have some paintings to view. Recalcati took up the theme of "ham" several times, for example in a painting from 1973, "La bohème de Chirico, place d'Italie" or in the work "Jambon de Paris" from 1972. Recalcati often exhibited in the 1970's in Italy, Paris, Caracas, and New York. During this time the 'Ham series' was created. About the artist - Antonio Recalcati (2 May 1938 – 4 December 2022) was an Italian painter and sculptor, born in a working-class family in Bresso, a suburb of Milan. Born in 1938 in Bresso, near Milan, who died on 4 December 2022, Antonio Recalcati was a major artist of the second half of the 20th century. Known first as a painter of the New Figuration in Paris, he was later more closely related to the movement of the Narrative Figuration. Without an artistic background, he was noted in the first half of the 1960s by his "Imprections" (Impronte), paintings made by applying directly to the canvas and in oil his own body or empty clothes (shirts, underpants, body jerseys). This process is then of total originality. It carries an unprecedented expressionist charge, and it becomes enigmatic when combined with abstract shapes or narrative devices (space of the canvas separated into several boxes, such as a page of comics). Exhibited both in Italy; in Paris in the salons and galleries (Gallery Mathias Fels, gallery Claude Levin, Galerie André Schoeller); in Brussels (Fragmy Gallery, Lanzberg Gallery); in New York (Odissey gallery); he participates in historical exhibitions such as: (Paris, 1964); and , During these same years, he befriended poets (Jacques Prévert) and novelists (Dino Buzatti), and he participated – with other artists such as Gilles Aillaud, Eduardo Arroyo, and Jean-Jacques Lebel – in several collective works that had become emblematic of the commitment of a new generation of painters: Grand Tableau...

Vintage Lithographs and Other Prints for Sale on 1stDibs

Buying art and design is one thing. Collecting it is quite another. Whether you’re looking to add a focal point to your living room or you’re introducing a new acquisition to an already thriving collection of art, the range of vintage lithographs and other fine art prints on 1stDibs is waiting for you.  

The lithographic process begins by drawing on or painting on a stone surface with an oil-based substance, such as a greasy crayon or tusche (an oily wash). The stone is then covered with water, which is repelled by the oily areas. Oil-based ink is then applied to the wet stone, adhering only to the oily image. The stone is then covered with a sheet of paper and run through a press. 

Lithographs tend to be more painterly than other printing techniques such as woodcut printmaking and drypoint, and many postwar and contemporary painters have collaborated with lithographic workshops to push their practices in new directions. The collection of vintage lithographs on 1stDibs includes works by Marc Chagall, Joan Miró, Peter Max, Jasper Johns and other artists.

Groundbreaking print studios like Gemini began to crop up in the mid-20th century. These included Tamarind, first founded as a lithography shop in Los Angeles; ULAE on New York’s Long Island; and Crown Point Press in San Francisco. The timing was due to the fact that many artists had developed a taste for printmaking during the Great Depression via the Works Progress Administration (WPA), which opened print shops for unemployed artists to help create useful and uplifting messages that could be widely disseminated.
